In recent years, Sinop province has become an important
touristic center of Black Sea Region in Turkey. Akliman is also one of the most
visited touristic areas of Sinop. It is notable that aquatic and semi-aquatic
habitats in Akliman and surrounding areas are suitable reproduction areas for Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae).
Females Culicoides biting midges
irritate people and animals because they feed on blood sucking. Thus, the study
aimed to determine the species of the genus in Akliman District of Sinop
Province, which is little investigated. The present study was conducted in 2014
and 2015. Samples were collected using CDC miniature light trap and black
fluorescent lamp light trap, which were kept inside bottles with 70% ethyl
alcohol. Culicoides specimens were
identified using steromicroscope and light microscope. A total of 15 species of
the Culicoides genus was identified
in the study area. Culicoides alazanicus
Dzhafarov, 1961, C. cataneii
Clastrier, 1957, C. gejgelensis
Dzhafarov, 1964, C. griseidorsum Kieffer, 1918, C. kibunensis Tokunaga, 1937, C. longipennis Khalaf, 1957, C. obsoletus (Meigen, 1818), C. picturatus Kremer and Deduit, 1961
and C. subfasciipennis Kieffer, 1919
species are new records for Sinop. Male individuals belonging to C. alazanicus and C. griseidorsum in Turkey have been identified for the first time
in this study.
